CurricuLLM is built with safety controls and curriculum filters, but teachers still play an important role in guiding how it’s used in class.
Key safety features
- Content filters → block unsafe or inappropriate material (set by admins).
- Curriculum alignment → answers are tied to year levels and outcomes.
- Socratic questioning → encourages students to think, not just copy answers.
Best practice in the classroom
- Set expectations early → explain to students that CurricuLLM is for learning, not general internet-style chatting.
- Encourage guided use → have students show how they phrased their question and what answer they received.
- Use it as a teaching partner → bring it up on the board for quick examples, model questioning techniques, or generate practice tasks.
- Balance with other methods → remind students that CurricuLLM is one tool among many, not a replacement for textbooks, discussion, or teacher guidance.
For teachers
- Circulate during student use to see how questions are being asked.
- Step in if students appear distracted or off-topic.
- Highlight safe and effective examples of how students used CurricuLLM well.
For students
- Ask questions that are clear, respectful, and connected to your learning goals.
- Treat CurricuLLM as a learning helper, not a shortcut to avoid thinking.
- Share good questions with classmates so everyone benefits.
Summary
Safe and effective use comes from combining CurricuLLM’s built-in safeguards with teacher oversight and clear classroom routines. When used this way, it becomes a trusted partner that supports learning while protecting students.
